📌 Question of the Week — April 16, 2026

From: Freya, 21 — Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Question:
“Hi Pastor James. I love your blog—it’s right on time. My question is personal, yet I believe it applies to everyone who calls themselves a Christian. I’ve tried to explain it to my friends, but the words just don’t come out right. Please help me: Why should I give my heart to Jesus Christ?”

Response:
Freya, that’s a beautiful name. Thank you for your courage—and for trusting me with such an important question. You are not alone; many are asking the same thing.

This question strikes at the very core of the Christian faith. To the non-believer, it often raises the question, “Saved from what?” To the believer, it reveals why Jesus came, why we trust Him, and what we are being saved into—not just what we are saved from.

In a culture shaped by self-sufficiency, spiritual apathy, and moral relativism, the message of salvation must be shared with both clarity and compassion.

Our world is filled with competing voices about truth, purpose, and identity. The idea of “being saved” may seem outdated to some, yet the evidence of a broken world is undeniable—wars, division, addiction, and despair.

What does this reveal? That salvation is not merely a theological concept—it is the heart cry of humanity. A cry for peace, purpose, forgiveness, and restoration.

An old proverb says it well: To know is to love, and to love is to know.

We would love to walk with you on this journey. Reach out to us, and we’ll even send you a copy of Your First Steps in Walking with God.

Thank you again, Freya. I pray your question opens doors for your friends to come to the foot of the Cross. ❤️
